Note
■
The Radio Data System (RDS) is used to transfer additional information. The
RDS enables program identification, program type identification (PTY), the recep-
tion of traffic reports (TP) or automatic station tracking, for example. If there is
sufficient reception, RDS-compatible radio stations will be displayed by station
name rather than station frequency.■
The  Alternative frequency (AF)  function ensures that the best receivable fre-
quency for the selected station is set automatically.
■
The device may not be fully functional in countries where RDS is not adequately
supported. We therefore recommend switching off the  RDS regional setting as
well as the  Alternative frequency (AF)  setting, f applicable. Otherwise, these set-
tings can affect the functionality of the radio.

The name of the artist, the album and the title of the played file can be displayed
if the information is available as a so-called ID3 tag. If no ID3 tag is available, only the folder name is displayed.
To ensure good quality sound, we recommend a minimum compressed bitrate of
160 kb/s for MP3 files. For audio files with variable bitrates, the indicated remain-
ing playback time does not correspond to the actual remaining playback time.
WMA files can only be played when not copyrighted by DRM. These kinds of WMAfiles are not supported by the device.
The more files, folders or playlists on one source, the longer it will take to read
the source. It is a good idea to create subfolders with files (e.g. by artist or album
names) in order to save time.

the electromagnetic radiation inside the vehicle.
Inserting the mobile phone into the Phonebox›Press on the edge of the lid A in the direction of the arrow, and open the stor-
age compartment.›
Place the mobile phone in the storage compartment

with the device.
WARNINGFor safety reasons, the storage compartment must always be closed when
driving.
Note
■ Protective cases or cases around the mobile phone placed in the storage com-
partment may interfere with the phone signal strength.■
